    Considered Both Products
    Justworks
    Chose Justworks
    I find the user experience on JustWorks to be far better than ADP and TriNet. And the employee support wins hands down as well
    Incentivized
    Chose Justworks
    They are similar tools in what they do. Justworks is a little easier to navigate; TriNet does have the Time-off estimator. Justworks is a much better cost for a very comparable product.
    Incentivized
    Chose Justworks
    Justworks is cheaper, more intuitive, and easier to use than other tools. It has a clean interface, unlike TriNet which I have used at a previous company (3+ years ago). TriNet does provide better HR services through your account manager who is an HR specialist, unlike …
    Incentivized
    Chose Justworks
    JustWorks is MUCH easier to use. The user interface is light years ahead of TriNet. Though JustWorks has a smaller number of health insurance plans available, I found it easier to navigate their selections because of the 1-pagers they provide and because there weren't SO many …
    Incentivized
    Chose Justworks
    We switched from TriNet to JustWorks for a number of reasons. TriNet's platform was outdated and consistently used third-party sites. None of their reporting was correct, nothing was integrated and my employees had an extremely difficult time finding and accessing anything they …
    Incentivized
    Chose Justworks
    We used TriNet for a few months before switching to Justworks - very difficult to use platform and time consuming to set up. Long onboarding process.
    Incentivized
    Chose Justworks
    Our review of alternatives concluded that ADP TotalSource is too expensive, too complex and lacks transparency, even for large companies. TriNet was much better, but post-acquisition it too has become less agile. Paychex isn't as comprehensive. There are literally dozens of …
    Incentivized
    Chose Justworks
    JustWorks is a full PEO rather than a simple payroll provider, and fairly tech forward. Their HR support is extremely good.
    Incentivized
    Chose Justworks
    Justworks is much easier to use and offers a better process and platform.
    Incentivized
    Chose Justworks
    Everything is very transparent about their pricing, documentation, and straight forward services they offer. The other had such a more corporate feel and their sales tactics were much more aggressive. They others dont seem to understand that calling me constantly in this day …

    TriNet
    Chose TriNet
    Both Insperity and TriNet have failed us in the same and different ways. Justworks was initially more expensive for benefits than TriNet. However, TriNet's benefits renewed with an average 10% increase, so we did not see savings for very long. If we could just be free of a …
    Incentivized
    Chose TriNet
    Frankly, I didn't select TriNet, I inherited it from our previous HR manager. I am not sure that I would have selected it. While I would not have selected Justworks, I have had amazing experiences with ADP and based on cost and options would have been more likely to choose them …
    Incentivized
    Chose TriNet
    TriNet offered similar functionalities to other PEOs like Insperity & Justworks, though for our particular company size & needs was the most cost competitive.
    Incentivized
    Chose TriNet
    I did review Justworks and they provided us a price with almost $20k savings with more benefits than TriNet offers. We are still considering the opportunity to switch but want to make sure we are incredibly prepared before switching and we have the appropriate discussions with …
    Incentivized
    Chose TriNet
    Justworks is very competitive with its administrative fees and benefits pricing. Insperity has some really strong HR support but is much too expensive. Sage People need s better user interface, but generally has some good features. We selected TriNet because TriNet provided the …
    Incentivized
    Chose TriNet
    We were with TriNet when Justworks approached us and we had conversations with them. They weren't able to match TriNet's rates and there was no reason to consider switching.
    Incentivized
    Chose TriNet
    ADP was not set up to work with a company that had less than 10 employees. Their benefits and administrative costs were much higher. With Justworks, they don't off the HR piece, just payroll and benefits. Everything was online and difficult to talk with someone. Initially, …
    Incentivized
    Chose TriNet
    I prefer TriNet's website to Ceridian's (which I used in a prior company). We selected TriNet over Justworks because we wanted the HR support that TriNet provides. We have been very happy with our choice. As a small business, the additional HR services from TriNet has been …

    Chose TriNet
    I'm switching from Trinet to Justworks. JW is cheaper and easier to use. It has less HR/Compliance than Trinet, but the first two are higher priority for me.
    Incentivized
    Chose TriNet
    We use Justworks quite a bit, but the difference is the designated support specialist. They only offer a general # to call into or a chat box. Also, they don't offer an audit prior to payroll processing, which I find helpful to keep accuracy and detect any errors. The JW …
    Incentivized
    Chose TriNet
    TriNet offered us a huge financial incentive to switch to their PEO. Benefit costs seem to be more expensive than competitors.
    Incentivized
    Chose TriNet
    Response time is much better with TriNet. All parts of their site are well-designed for a smooth user experience. Administration costs are reasonable (some others are offensively high and remind you that you could just hire another FT employee to do this work).
    Incentivized
    Chose TriNet
    TriNet offers a comprehensive platform for a very fair price. Their insurance offerings are superior to many other PEOs.
    Incentivized
    Chose TriNet
    Better benefit offerings
    Incentivized
    Chose TriNet
    We found the offerings from TriNet to be richer and very cost competitive with those from other PEOs. The cost difference between any PEO and having a broker put together a package is significant.

    The integration that the portal offers is a huge benefit to the employees and …
    Incentivized
    Chose TriNet
    TriNet's level of customer service and pricepoint is superior to the other companies we researched.
    Incentivized
    Chose TriNet
    I selected TriNet because I had previously been an employee with a company using TriNet for HR and had a great experience. I also made the decision based on the breadth and depth of the benefits options available for my employees across 50 states.
    Incentivized
    Chose TriNet
    We evaluated a few products for payroll and for benefits and at the time TriNet was the only one we found which offered a wide range of health care plans. We are considering evaluating other options again to see if there are cost savings or if down the line a product emerges …
    Incentivized
    Chose TriNet
    We were interested to look at alternatives and ensure we were getting the best deal for our staff and the company. Only one came close to the cost of the benefits and we were loath to switch the employee experience without a solid reason. As we grow our system needs and the …
    Incentivized
    Chose TriNet
    We chose TriNet when our company was starting out. We may be switching to a new PEO soon because the needs of our business have changed and we would like certain features that TriNet has yet to fix or add.
    Incentivized
    Chose TriNet
    TriNet's benefits offerings leave all others in the dust.

    I recommend TriNet over any product like TriNet used in the past.
